here's a bit of U-turn from Billy Joel.  this is one of the great Monk tunes "Hackensack."  the Ab-7 Db7 is one of his characteristic twists.  to me it feels like he's saying "Didn't you hear me, I just said TWO FIVE!" but maybe that's just my imagination.

I really envy you, Budo!!! I can't understand how you can create such wonders from a simple melody line and chords... I envy you so much!!!!
Great job!

Excellent ! "Swing, swing, swing and sing, sing, sing"... This one has this "Well, You Needn't" vibe.

thank you so much Borealis!  yes it does have that vibe and must be some recurring motif he had in his head

budo -The level of talent at 2,33 - 2,53 (that running up and down)  is unreal!! One can’t duplicate it, impossible! You are a great Master!
Aah.  You are sooo good at playing Monk (which many find difficult to play.
Many thanks again
And nice chords at ending, I like you use sustain pedal in this ending.

Best wishes,
